I think we should look at benefits of Bitcoin for merchants, to increase the active circulation.

Bitcoin does have value and its price tag of 3700 dollars per coin should tell you something, that is, it is definitely not for the lack of value that we don't see a lot of adoption. And that leaves us to deal with the fact that merchants are not willing to accept crypto because not many consumers want to pay with it in the first place
